ADEPT 00330-01040 MV CONTROLLER

ADEPT 00330-01040 MV CONTROLLER

INTRODUCTION

The Adept controllers are based on the VME Bus specification, and the slide-in  boards are designed to the 6U VME size. There are three models of controllers, the  Adept MV-5, MV-10, and the Adept Compact Controller.

Adept MV-5 Controller

The Adept MV-5 controller is a 5-slot chassis that is available in either a  stand-alone or robot configuration; see ' 
(. The stand-alone version stands  horizontally and can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. The robot  version stands vertically. It can be joined to an Adept PA-4 power chassis, and the  joined units can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack.

The Adept MV-5 requires one board, an AWC board in a 68040 or 68060  configuration. The AWC occupies backplane slot 1. The remaining slots can be  populated with various combinations of optional Adept boards.

The Adept MV-5 chassis has an auto-ranging 100-120/200-240 VAC single-phase,  250-watt power supply. The chassis is cooled by a fan located in the lower front  section. Incoming air is cleaned by a reusable filter.

Adept MV-10 Controller

The Adept MV-10 controller is a 10-slot chassis that is available in either a  stand-alone or robot configuration. The stand-alone version stands  horizontally and can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. The robot  version stands vertically. It can be joined to an Adept PA-4 power chassis, and the  joined units can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack.

The Adept MV-10 requires one board, an AWC board in a 68040 or 68060  configuration. The AWC occupies backplane slot 1. The remaining slots can be  populated with various combinations of optional Adept boards.

The Adept MV-10 chassis has an auto-ranging 100-120/200-240 VAC  single-phase, 350-watt power supply. The chassis is cooled by a fan located in the  lower front section. Incoming air is cleaned by a reusable filter.

Inappropriate Uses of the Adept Controller

The Adept controller is intended for use as a component subassembly of a  complete industrial automation system. The Adept controller subassembly must  be installed inside a suitable enclosure. Installation and usage must comply with  all safety instructions and warnings in this manual. Installation and usage must  also comply with all applicable local or national statutory requirements and  safety standards. The Adept controller subassembly is not intended for use in any  of the following situations:

• In hazardous (explosive) atmospheres 

• In mobile, portable, marine, or aircraft systems 

• In life-support systems 

• In residential installations 

• In situations where the Adept controller subassembly may come into contact  with liquids. 

• In situations where the Adept controller subassembly will be subject to  extremes of heat or humidity. See specifications for allowable temperature  and humidity ranges.

Reading and Training for Users and Operators

Adept systems can include computer-controlled mechanisms that are capable of  moving at high speeds and exerting considerable force. Like all robot and motion  systems, and most industrial equipment, they must be treated with respect by the  user and the operator. This manual should be read by all personnel who operate or maintain Adept  systems, or who work within or near the workcell.

We recommend you read the American National Standard for Industrial Robot  Systems - Safety Requirements, published by the Robotic Industries Association  (RIA) in conjunction with the American National Standards Institute. The  publication, ANSI/RIA R15.06, contains guidelines for robot system installation,  safeguarding, maintenance, testing, startup, and operator training.

We also recommend you read the International Standard IEC 204 or the European  Standard EN 60204, Safety of Machinery – Electrical Equipment of Machines, and ISO  10218 (EN 775), Manipulating Industrial Robots – Safety, particularly if the country  of use requires a CE-certified installation. for ordering information for national and international standards.) This manual assumes that the user has attended an Adept training course and has  a basic working knowledge of the system. The user should provide the necessary  additional training for all personnel who will be working with the system.

There are several warnings in this manual that say only skilled or instructed  persons should attempt certain procedures. The qualifications follow. 

• Skilled persons have technical knowledge or sufficient experience to enable  them to avoid the dangers which electricity may create (engineers and  technicians). 

• Instructed persons are adequately advised or supervised by skilled persons  to enable them to avoid the dangers which electricity may create (operating  and maintenance staff).
